As explained by J.Vanderkooy [1] the acoustic center of a direct radiating subwoofer unit is placed ahead respect to the driver membrane, at a distance depending on driver and cabinet dimensions. This has effects on acoustic simulations and it deserves some attention to avoid errors. Measurements are shown which confirm acoustic center position theoretical calculation and a discussion is made about its effect on the definition of models for accurate simulations.
